Valley of Dreams
Alan Curbishley encountered most of football's ill winds during the 15 years he was coach, co-manager, then sole manager of Charlton - a club once homeless, with gates of less than 3000, forced to sell players to pay the wages and to buy replacement kit for the first team, and teetering on the brink of extinction.

Charlton Athletic-League One Goals 2009/10 [DVD]
Season 2009/10 found Charlton Athletic in the third tier of English football for the first time in 28 years. And it looked as if their stay would be brief when they opened their campaign with six succesive victories, a welcome reversal of fortunes after two relegations in three seasons.

Charlton Athletic-Telly Addicks 70's/80's/90's [DVD]
Although the BBC had broadcast a Charlton match live from The Valley as early as 1947, it wasn't until growth of colour television in the 1970s that recorded coverage became relatively commonplace, largely due to ITV's The Big Match.
